i need help making one of the most important decisions of my life, i was brought up a witness and fell away nearly 9 years ago.
i firmly believe what i was taught and still believe in the truth.
theres just a few questions i would like asking but never have the opportunity to ask anyone.
ok on the finance part you know the answer. YOUR NOT MARRIED.
with the other questions just have faith and know that jehovah will answer your prayers. If you know its the truth then practice it or dont.
The bible is your manual for life. Start reading and investigating for yourself.

i was trying to fade, and thought i had done so successfully for the past 18months.. i have just received a call from my dad saying it will be announced tomorrow that i have been disfellowshipped... can they do this???.
chok.
If you were trying to fade out then it should not matter if they disfellowship you or not.
You didnt want to be apart of it anyway. Its not like your going to jail or that this would ruin your career. Just move on.
i went to meeting last night (don't ask) and someone asked me to go out in service.
i was taken by surprise and actually agreed to do street work on saturday.
the sister that i'm supposed to work with has always been very kind to me and i know that there is no one else in our hall that will go out with her on saturday morning.
Be honest, Dont lie, Just BE HONEST. If you dont belive then LEAVE. You are putting more pressure and anxiety on yourself then you should. JUST BE HONEST.
If you dont like something then walk away. If you are doing it for your parents your not living your own life.
Its your life you pay the consequenses of your choices.
LIVE
this is my first post of any significance and if i seem to ramble at times please forgive me.
i have alot to say and i don't know how much of it will make sense.. .
i need help in trying to figure out how to get out of "the truth".
Lot,
I am currently disfellowshipped and have been for 8 yrs. I have struggled most of my life even being raised in the truth with what I should do. I often look in the sky and wonder if Jehovah is smiling at me or hurt by my conduct. I asked my father since he is an elder why he thought I may be on the outside for so long since I am currently livingmy life wholesomely and his response to me was that I lacked faith.
I am so fearful of not making it into paradise, I have just said "What do i have to lose by going back?" I want to be low Key with it all but I know what you are feeling. My advice is to live and be happy with what decisions you make and know that there is always a calm before and after the storm.
No matter what choices you make someone always has something to say about them. My mother is apostate and divorced my father 21 yrs ago. I just look at her and see her pain and her stubborness and she claims she is happy. I dont want to be like her. Pray and follow your heart. Patience is the best thing and know that the good qualities you have learned from the organization are helpful in your day to day living. Just dont be a fake!!!! Live to your happiness and respect your wife and her feelings as well.
Sincerely,
CC
